Beverley Oakley is an Australian author of more than 30 Regency romps, and Victorian and Georgian-set romances laced with mystery and intrigue.Under her other pen names - Beverley Eikli and B.G. Nettelton - she writes Africa-set romantic suspense and Women's Fiction.Born in the African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, Beverley married the handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta while managing a safari lodge.She began her writing career as a journalist, but it was during long aerial survey contracts around the world-typically as the sole woman among the crew-that she began writing romance novels, finding in them an escape from the isolation.Beverley also adores making historical costumes, knitting, and travelling, usually to Norway to visit her older daughter.She lives just north of Melbourne with the same wonderful husband she whisked away from Botswana thirty years ago, together with their youngest daughter, and a gorgeous, dopey Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs more than she does.When she's not writing, she runs a bed & breakfast & Farmstay business (called Wuthering Heights) in South Australia's beautiful wine growing Clare Valley with her two sisters.You can visit her websites at: www.beverleyoakley.com or www.beverleysbooks.com
